The establishments today, especially the legal establishment and bureaucracies, think the republic is already dead. As such they will neglect protecting the constitution, neglect protecting honest elections. The only thing that stopped the supreme court in 2020 was that it looked like it wasn't going to work. 5 states, with mostly blue governments to some, and people in their own party resistant to faithlessly betraying the vote.
Those people have been purged from their party and made an example of, relevant positions to steal the vote have been stacked, and the partisan base has gotten away with systematically levelling masses of death threats on election officials, hundreds crossed the legal line just that reuters invetigations found, and the administration filed mild charges in a literal handful of cases, by 2022 I think one single prosecution.
Voting officials have death threats on them, their families, and the justice department refused to protect them even with a democratic president. It's things like that more than anything that led the bureaucracy and courts to abandon the constitution. These democrats won't protect those that stick their neck out to fulfill their duty, the republicans will punish them, and it's all but inevitable these democrats would throw the election sooner or later to the radicalized republican party.
The rich that captured the democrats completely before we were born want to forestall any kind of popular reform that would revoke any licenses they've gotten to take more than their previous shares. In doing so they also created a monster on the right they cannot control and will themselves be destroyed by. In one way and or others. But there is no pulling back now even if they knew some history and realized a supreme leader never ends well for those in power at the time of the anointment. Not in the long term, and not in the short term if the people seizing absolute power are the biggest pieces of shit to start with.
People that support this have no idea what they are doing. Democrats refusing to field a winning program to forestall moderate reforms for their delusional rich backers have no idea what they are doing. I am continually amazed just how dumb people are, to the point that I am now convinced that we are being dosed with toxins that make us compliant. Because previous generations would've never allowed the last ten years.
